October Issue Deadline 1st September
Welcome tothe village directory
Hi Everyone,Welcome to the September Issue, by the time you read this the Olympics will be well and truly over, but as I write I’m still reeling from the amazing closing ceremony on television last night. Although constantly tidying up after my teenage son can feel like a marathon at times, I’m not really into sport in a big way, but I must say I really caught the Olympics bug and for the fi rst time watched with excitement and immense pride.
Leading up to the games I didn’t think I would watch much of it but once we were introduced to some of the athletes, and we started doing so well, I was riveted to my screen every night. It was wonderful to have a whole two weeks of uplifting successes, not just from our sports men and women but also from the tremendous British fans and helpers. I think we showed the whole world the very professional, talented and fun side of us Brits.
Although it did seem rather London centred at times I think the whole country can be proud of how this Olympics came together. Well done Team GB. Now it’s up to all of us to to maintain this very positive, uplifting vibe. The athletes have shown us how hard work and a positive mental attitude is the key to success. Have a great month!

Just Is it my imagination or is this part of the season getting longer? The stretch from late summer to the end of October can be nearly as hot (and usually drier) than it is in July and August. Colours are muted and warm and autumn is creeping in at the edges of the day, but not in a bad way; it gives me a “seize the day” feeling, in case this is the last time we’ll see the sun. I’m more relaxed in the garden at this time of the year - the pressure’s off in terms of hoping for perfection now that the summer’s drifting away; the weeds aren’t quite so rampant and although some things are fading, others are still in their prime - a few even, are just beginning.
Many grasses are in their prime now, with golden, silver or russety fl ower spikes - some demure and ‘grassy’, others with dramatic
September
plumes or ‘feathers’ of fl owers. The sun is lower in the sky than in summer, so use this slanting light to good eff ect by placing grasses in front of the sun so that they’re backlit. The fl ower and seed heads last for a long time and give movement, texture and drama to a border. Grasses look fantastic planted with late summer perennials - try clumps of ‘daisy’ fl owers like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, or drifts of Verbena bonariensis and Gauara lindheimerii.
Grasses are very easy to grow and look after. They tend to clump up a little (some Miscanthus gets a bit thuggish), but are easily divided in either autumn or spring. The only thing you really need to do is cut them back (to the ground) in early spring before the new growth starts.
Five Good Grasses To Grow:
Miscanthus zebrinus - this tall grass has horizontally striped leaves (not quite like a Zebra though) and attractive dusky fl ower plumes/seed heads that persist for a long time.

Stipa tenuissima - a shorter grass that helps to give movement and texture within the border. It works well contrasted with dumpy clumps of Sedums and Asters or mingled in with Verbena and Gauara.
Mollinia caerula ‘Transparent’ - mixes well with perennials like Echinacea.
Carex alata (Bowles Golden grass) - low growing with chartreuse (limey green) leaves that brightens shady corners.
Festuca glauca - another short evergreen grass, this time with blue leaves. It will happily grow in containers, or plant at the front of the border.

Life BeginsDon’t let your dream cottage turn into a nightmareIt’s the stuff of Daily Mail competitions. It’s the fantasy that drives the holiday cottage industry: when once a year we satisfy our desire for rural living by renting our own dream cottage. But what happens when – like newly retired couple Gary and Linda Speed from Basingstoke - you decide to live the dream?
Gary and Linda wanted to buy a spacious, detached cottage in the West Country with off -street parking, original features and countryside views. Having around £300,000 in the bank, they were confi dent that they would fi nd their perfect home.
However, they were initially dismayed to fi nd that while house prices may have slumped in recent years, the market for period properties in popular areas remains surprisingly buoyant.
The couple eventually found a reasonably-priced cottage that ticked all the right boxes. Located in a quiet village outside a popular Dorset tourist town, the attractive stone-built, thatched property had no central heating and lacked a modern kitchen and bathroom, but it did have a large garden all the period features they wanted.
“We knew that it needed updating,” says Linda. “But it was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t understand why someone else hadn’t already snapped it up.”
However, as the various surveys and building reports they had commissioned began to pile up, the true cost of the renovation was revealed.
The stonework needed re-pointing, the electrical wiring had decayed and the damaged thatch would cost thousands to replace, so Gary and Linda reluctantly pulled out. They had incurred costs along the way – solicitors’ fees plus the cost of the surveys and reports – but they had avoided the nightmare of a ‘money pit’ purchase by taking professional advice early on.
If Gary and Linda’s dreams didn’t match up to reality, they were not alone. In a recent survey by AA Home Emergency Response, 2,005 people were questioned about their ideal home. 28% of respondents fantasised about owning a property

The perfectalternative to kennels
in a rural location, with a large, open-plan kitchen/diner and living area featuring high on their ‘must-have’ list. 48% of the sample wanted sea views while slightly more than half prioritised views of mountains or open fi elds.
As anyone familiar with the British countryside will know, rather than enjoying expansive views, many village dwellings face directly onto a busy road. A large kitchen/diner is also a rare fi nd – particularly if the cottage is Grade II listed and the local authority does not permit structural alterations.
In fact the competition for properties that ‘have it all’ is so intense that in sought-after areas you will need to spend £500,000 plus if you want a property with good internal space that enjoys excellent countryside or seaside views. Buyers on a more modest budget will inevitably have to compromise.
After their experience in Dorset, Gary and Linda seriously considered giving
up their dream of a West Country home, but during a weekend trip to Somerset a ‘For Sale’ sign caught their eye.
Their fi nal purchase was a small, terraced town house that faced directly onto the street - a far cry from the ‘roses round the door’ cottage with a large garden they had originally envisaged. As Linda explains: “We knew we had to compromise on our dream, but in the end it didn’t really feel like a compromise. It was diff erent, but we loved the village and somehow the chemistry was right.”

It was a record breaking day for Pilgrims Hospices Summer Fair. The sun shone and the crowds came. 0ver 2000 people poured through the gates to enjoy everything from the cake stall to high end fashion, a human fruit machine to the Pimm’s tent. As a result nearly £19,000 was raised, smashing last year’s total.
Shona Hardyke, one of the many visitors throughout the day expressed her delight saying, “The whole family enjoyed the fair. The children loved the amazing variety of stalls and wanted to go on everything. They were absolutely delighted to be able to buy some great mirrors from the craft stall which will adorn their walls very soon. Congratulations to everyone for making it such a wonderful day. I look forward to next year now.”
Natalie Shoebridge, from NatWest Ashford, ran the High End Fashion Stall. She said, “It was an amazing day. People loved the chance to try on some of the fabulous clothes which were just a sample of the high quality items that can be bought in many of Pilgrims charity shops. “
Deborah Jarrett who ran one of the bottle tombolas described how busy they were, “We had a constant stream of people throughout the fair, right to the closing minutes. With 1000 bottles to be won we were very popular. The generosity of the shoppers at Sainsbury’s
in Ashford and New Romney, who donated the bottles, meant that we were able to please many people with lots of winning tickets on the day.”
Nigel Donkin, Regional Fundraising Manager said, “It was a delight to welcome so many from the community to the grounds of the hospice. It is so heart warming to see such support. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the 150 staff , volunteers and supporters who worked so hard to make the day such a great success.
The staggering amount raised in such an economically diffi cult time is a tribute to the dedication of so many who hold Pilgrims in high regard. It will enable us to continue to move forward in the way that we provide care for all who need it, both within the hospice and at home.”

into sharp edges. They help to soften the room and are a stylish design feature to end a run of cabinets.
Remove things from the fl oorMake things easier on your lower extremities by moving your appliances off the fl oor. A range cooker may look lovely but it becomes a pain when you have to keep bending down to use it, not to mention high maintenance to clean. High line ovens & fridges at waist level mean easy access & less bending.
Make it easy to clean & maintainThere are a couple of must have features to help you cut down on cleaning time in your kitchen;
• Keep cabinetry unfussy, free from excessive detail for clean lines and smooth surfaces.
• Granite or composite stone worktops are practical, durable & the easiest of surfaces to clean.
• Induction hobs are a wonder – so easy to use and only need a quick wipe over.
• Pyrolitic ovens have a fully automatic self-cleaning function, which at a touch of a button removes all food residues with no unpleasant odours or chemical cleaning agents.

As we enjoy healthier lives for longer we need to forward plan, investing in our homes to make them much easier for use in older age.
The kitchen area is a prime example of where you can have quality, design-led solutions that not only make it useable for you today but can still be used as you grow older with no compromise on style.
At J M Interiors we’re highly experienced at planning kitchens with this objective in mind and fi nd following these design tips really do help to keep kitchens smart, functional and above all easy to use & maintain.
Keep everything within reachBase cupboards and low level shelving mean lots of bending and reaching. Opt instead for drawers; they more than double your storage space as well as making everything well organised and easy to access.
Increase your storage capacity by incorporating accessible corner solutions such as magic corners, carousels, swing-outs and rotating trays. Their ergonomic design means smooth operations and safe storing of all your kitchen items.
Soften harsh edgesThink about incorporating curved cupboards and surfaces to prevent knocks

My earliest Olympic memories include golden performances from David Hemery in 1968, Mary Peters in 1972 and David Wilkie in 1976 – events I saw as an impressionable school boy. Those were also the days when Team GB found gold medals all but elusive. We were used to the Brits somehow falling at the fi nal hurdle and despite our plucky eff orts we would tend to lose out to the more professional, better prepared (and sometimes illegally-fuelled) continental teams. What a contrast to Beijing and now London 2012!
The preparation of our cycling team has stunned the world – at its heart lies its attention to detail, its production of youthful, exuberant, awesomely talented athletes who compete expecting to win and yet are equally capable of showing graciousness on the few occasions when they taste defeat. Today’s children have any number of our own home-grown sporting heroes from whom they can draw inspiration: Ennis, Farah, Ainslie, Wiggins, Pendleton…! Maybe they will be able to remember where they were on that glorious Super Saturday when GB won 6 golds including 3 of them in the space of 90 minutes.
However, what will they be able to do with that inspiration? These children must have opportunities to play, to perform and experience diff erent sports. They must be allowed and encouraged to enjoy competition. They must be taught how to win and lose. They must be given

the chance to develop skills, experience the social and educational benefi ts of teamwork and be given goals to chase.
This is the subject of much debate alongside the Olympics and Lord Moynihan, Chairman of the BOA, has raised the issue that inspiration must lead to participation if there is to be a lasting Olympic legacy. Increased funding to grassroots clubs will undoubtedly help but what is required is for teachers in schools to recognise the value of children’s participation in sport (and the benefi t it has on their whole education) and a willingness to include every child.
At Spring Grove, we have extensive playing fi elds; we also have skilled and enthusiastic teachers who encourage every child to participate. The children themselves have access to sport every day and fi nd themselves included in team sports and personal physical development programmes. It is no surprise then that the school has produced National Prep School cross-country champions and talented athletes who make a signifi cant contribution to numerous local sports clubs.
If our young children need any further inspiration then they can consider that a similar small prep school in Lincolnshire has produced two of our recent Olympic stars.

As we look to the start of a new school year, it’s time to think about how you can support your child’s learning.
At your local study centre, Kumon can help your child to excel in maths and English by off ering individualised study programmes which build their confi dence and allow them to develop self-learning skills. The study programmes are tailored to all ages and abilities.
We all know the importance of maths and English. At the start of a new term it’s especially important that your child gets to grips with these core subjects and with the learning skills vital for academic progression. Kumon’s unique method of learning focuses on your child’s individual needs, providing them with skills such as concentration and time management and ensuring they progress at their own pace.
Once enrolled on a Kumon programme, your child will visit the centre every week and have daily worksheets to complete at home. At the centre, the Instructor will monitor their progress, setting new work and encouraging them to take ownership of their learning.
Over 67,000 children study with Kumon at more than 630 centres in the UK. Following a Free Assessment your child will then have the time to settle into a new routine and progress more rapidly. As they work a little each day they develop not only a strong grounding in maths and English, but fundamental skills such as accuracy, time management and concentration, enabling them to become confi dent, independent learners. To give your child a head start this new school year, contact your local Instructor today.

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR WILL AND ESTATE PLANNING IN ORDER?
In another of our regular series on legal matters, Rosalind Johnson, from Tenterden Solicitors Pengelly & Rylands, explains the importance of making a Will and putting your Estate in order.
Did you know, 7 out of 10 of us do not have a Will, although dying without one could cause upset for loved ones.
If you die without a Will, your Estate may not pass to those you intend and the Intestacy laws apply. Under these laws, only married or civil partners will benefi t. No one has a right to inherit if they are just cohabiting but are not married or civil partners.
There is a misconception by many people that if you live with someone, you automatically get something if that person dies. If there is no Will the cohabitee would have to bring a claim against their partner’s Estate, which you can only do if you have lived with them for at least two years. Such a claim can be time consuming, costly and ultimately may not be successful.
Couples who are not married do not have the same exemption that applies to married couples or civil partners to pass any amount of money or assets to one another without having to pay Inheritance Tax.
If you are married and have not made a Will, your Estate will not be given automatically to your spouse. They will take the fi rst £250,000 of your Estate outright. The balance will be split into two parts; one part will pass outright to any children you have, equally, at 18 and the other part will be held on a life interest trust for your spouse, following which it will pass to your children outright.
If you have no children but you have parents or brothers and sisters living, then your spouse will take £450,000 of your Estate outright, but the balance will again be split into two parts; one part will pass to your spouse outright, the other to your parents and failing that to your siblings outright.
A further complication of dying without a Will is that an administrator must be appointed by the Court to distribute the Estate, rather than the Executor that you would have chosen, had you had a Will.
An administrator is usually a close family member who is eligible to inherit and they must apply for a Grant of Letters of Administration. If more than one person wants to administer the Estate, the application can be contested, making the process even more drawn out and painful.
There are also many fi nancial benefi ts from having a Will in place, the laws of Intestacy take no account of the type of assets you own and their tax treatment, which can lead to unnecessary tax bills. By way of an example, specifi c business assets or shares in a family business can pass under the terms of your Will to the next generation, free of Inheritance Tax if they qualify for Business Property Relief.
If you would like to discuss your circumstances and make a Will, please contact either Rosalind Johnson or Gill Snow at Pengelly & Rylands on 01580 762248 and we will be very pleased to discuss your situation with you.
Rosalind Johnson – Senior Partner

Lamb and Lamb and Aubergine CurryAubergine Curry
Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a large deep frying pan. Add the lamb chunks and fry over a high heat until browned all over. Remove the lamb from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onion and aubergine for 7-8 minutes, stirring all the time until golden. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute then pour in the sieved tomatoes and bring to the boil.
Return to the lamb to the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook gently for 25-30 minutes until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water if needed.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the curry in warmed bowls garnished with coriander and with chapattis, sliced tomatoes, cucumber and onions.
• 3 tbsp sunfl ower oil
• 650g lean lamb steaks, cut into chunks
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• • 1 large aubergine, cut into cubes
• • 2tbsp Rogan Josh curry paste
• • 400g sieved tomatoes
• • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• • Fresh coriander leaves, to garnish
• • Chapattis, sliced tomatoes, cucumber and onion, to serve
Serves 4Ready in 50 minutes
This quick curry is so easy to
make and much cheaper than
a take away. We’ve used lean
lamb steaks but you could
replace the lamb with pork
fi llet, chicken or turkey.
You’ll fi nd jars of curry pastes in most supermarkets and
they certainly take all the hassle out of making an authentic tasting curry at home. Rogan josh is a medium-hot paste but for a really mild fl avour use a korma paste or go for a vindaloo paste if you prefer a curry with a little more heat.
